Nights of Lights in St. Augustine
It is that time of year again, and the city is recovering nicely from the hurricane.
Every year, the elves come out late at night and begin stringing millions of lights throughout the city of St. Augustine. Travelers come from afar to see this amazing display of holiday cheer.
Traffic increases dramatically and jaywalkers abound, so please drive carefully when you’re in the downtown area. The city offers several ways to help alleviate the traffic and parking problems that accompany the next couple of months.
There is plenty of information available through the City of St. Augustine and its parking information.
Who could have imagined that a holiday tradition would grow into such a phenomenon here in the Ancient City?
At the time this was written, taxis could often be found across from the fort, near the Casa Monica or around the Plaza, where the Christmas tree stood.
Plan your transportation needs wisely and be patient. Traffic will be heavy.
Happy holidays to those we know—and to the new friends we will make. Enjoy your stay with us.
And if we send you that one-finger gesture while you’re riding the Holly Jolly train, it is simply our cabbie way of saying:
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
